I suffered from Insomnia, and nothing worked.. I resorted drastically by taking downers to make me go to sleep. But when I became pregnant I had to find another way… so I would wake up very early..no naps during the day. Exercise and let all the energy out.. and would find myself sleepy early.. like 9pm. It helps to make the bed and watch tv in the living room and not in your room. And keep the room dark and cool.

make my body busy in doing physical work till it gets tired,
do some meditation,
i will go to bed only when i get sleep .do not sleep in afternoons.
make my bed room more piecefull, calm ,dim lighted .
if i have any probs which make me think of it and not allowing to sleep,theni will work on it .

A different thing works every night…sometimes its watching tv, sometimes its going on a walk, sometimes reading a book….
A lot of times if I get one part of me really tired, the rest of me follows…so I usually concentrate on one part…my eyes (reading, tv, video games), my legs (running, squats, lunges), my arms (lifting weights, push-ups)…
tiring out the eyes usually works the best….working out sometimes wakes you up more then it puts you to sleep…
When it’s really bad I try Tylenol PM or a little warm milk (sometimes with a splash of liquor).

occasionally this happens to me + the only thing that even helps a little is to put on a real boring movie .

i suggest you make your bed time around 2 hours earlier. you also should lay off coffees and teas. dont take naps in the morning. watch a TV documentary that do not interest you at all or you could try to read a very boring, very slow-paced book…..
IMPT: and from the moment that you feel that you are a little bit sleepy, grab that chance to lay on your bed.
i usually get insomnia if i have a lot of things in my mind.. be it a problem i cant solve or just plain daydreaming of the day ahead of me…. so try to think about nothing.
if all else fail, ask help from your doctor
good luck!

What fratts speaks of is absolutely true.
I have a friend that is 60 years old. He suffers from sleep aphnia. Hes tried everything. Wearing some kind of funky mask at nite, taking pills. His breathing actually stops while hes sleeping for a minute or so.
Somehow hes found out that smoking a spleef before bed has cured him of all that sleep aphnia. Only person I know that has a true medical marijuana situation
I told him he should move to california, he could just get it out of the vending machines.

Make yourself tired during day time (work, walk), take a hot shower, and drink half of warm milk and eat some fruits – banana, orange, apple. Try not to take any medications! – sleeping pill, melotona, etc. you will get addicted to it.

herbal tea seems to work for me. or if that doesn’t work i will just listen to the presidential race. super yawn.

Insomnia is often caused by fear, stress, anxiety, medications, herbs, caffeine, depression or sometimes for no apparent reason. Make sure your bedroom is quiet and dark. Soak a tablespoon of mint leaves in a cup of water for an hour, drink every night. Check out http://useinfo-insomnia.blogspot.com/ for more info
